I'd recommend that you create a GtkEventBox or a GtkDrawingArea
and draw the GdkPixmap yourself. Set the GtkEventBox or
GtkDrawingArea's events to receive the "enter_notify_event"
and "motion_notify_event" to find out where the pointer is.

The tricky part is the tooltip, unfortunately the tooltip
will not appear next to the pointer. So you need to
create a tooltip widget yourself using a GtkWindow set
to GTK_WINDOW_POP.
